A Comparison Of The Women Of Wharton And Deledda
Number of words: 1095 - Number of pages: 4

.... In her late twenties, she suffers from a compounded sickness that was thought to be brought on by her taking care of Ethan's mother and her absorption of life's burdens. In this story she is the conflicting character. The other woman is a young Mattie Silver, the cousin of Zeena and the housemaid of the Fromes. Mattie is about twenty-one years old and not too much of a house keeper since she is small and weak and somewhat clumsy. But nevertheless she caught the eye of Ethan Frome who would fetch her on nights of town revelry, and with that grew a forbidden love. This is the conflict of th .....

The Goddess Remembered
Number of words: 848 - Number of pages: 4

.... made in the film. To me, the understanding that "only recently, in the past 6,000 years, has the woman's perspective been ignored", is something that nobody can say with any certainty. Some of the more factual issues discussed in the film include "Venus Figures". They were first called "Venus" figures by the Marquis de Vibraye in the 1860's and the term has subsequently been used to represent all ancient depiction's of (usually corpulent) women. These figurines are quite similar despite a wide geographical spread, footless and faceless with swollen breasts, buttocks and/or abdomens. The .....

Les Miserables
Number of words: 504 - Number of pages: 2

.... in their land. In America, this theme can be related to the blacks. In the beginning of the twentieth century they did not have as much rights and oppurtunities as the whites. Another example of how this theme can be related to America is how a person with a southern accent is perceived as less intelligent, which is a false misconception. The theme -how criminals are viewed by society- can be seen by how Jean Valjean is treated after he is released by prison. Although, he has served a sentence of nineteen years, he is still chased and wanted. In that period of time when a person commited .....

The Book Of Matthew
Number of words: 2232 - Number of pages: 9

.... The Old Testament cannot be read without being aware of that constant promise running through each page. Someone is definitely coming. In opening the Gospels, that Someone comes forth in the fullness of his glory, and it is absolutely fascinating. We get a chance to see Christ as he is. Because what Christ was, is what he is, and what he will always be. We are given a view into the depth and fullness of his character and being and life. That is why the Gospels are so important to us. The word gospel means "good news." It was the message that Jesus forgives the sins of al .....

.... of the front line troops. John McCrae’s poem later inspired the poppy to become the symbol of Remembrance and sacrifice. John McCrae was born in Guelph, Ontario on November 30,1872 to two established, respectable and hardworking Scottish parents, David McCrae and Janet Simpson Eckford.

Huckleberry Finn - Satirical Plot
Number of words: 876 - Number of pages: 4

.... line talks about how white people despise and refuse to accept the black race. Answering Aunt Sally's question about whether or not anyone is hurt Huck answers, "no mum, just killed a nigger."(Twain 213) This is the one and only acceptable way to talk about black people in the "white" society. In addition to this, not only is the black people treated differently from the white, they are also considered to be one's property. "He is the only property I have," (Twain 122) Huck is perforced to say in order to save Jim. This is the only way to get through without the essence of suspicions. Thou .....

A Clockwork Orange
Number of words: 584 - Number of pages: 3

.... resume. It is implied to the reader that Alex is destined for a life of evil and there is nothing he can do to change it. Alex has no free will or moral choice. The theme of the 20 chapter version is that there is no such thing as free will or moral choice. Alex is evil and he has no ability to change that. The story also ends without Alex evolving at all from the beginning of the book. Chapter 21 gives the book an absolutely different theme. Alex becomes board with his malicious life, he begins to evolve. "I was like growing up" he says about himself in chapter 21. He decides he wants to .....

The Taming Of The Shrew - Humo
Number of words: 819 - Number of pages: 3

.... a broken hilt and chapeless; his horse hipped…with an old mothy saddle (Act III Scene II) This depiction of Petruchio conforms to Shakespeare’s technique of using false realities, in order to create humour. This can also be seen in the false identity that Petruchio puts forth in his quest for dominion over Kate (that of the eccentric egomaniac). However, these false realities are not enough by themselves, as the audience has nothing to go by but what they see before them, and so they are not to know that this is not Petruchio’s true personality, and so Shakespeare employs another .....

.... so she uses the same antics on her daughter-in-law who doesn't even acknowledge her. Before she has a chance to work on the children, they tell her "stay at home if you don't want to go." The grandmother then decides that she will have to go along after all, but she is already working on her own agenda.
